Career Highlights:

I own a real estate development company that specializes in commercial and residential real estate, excavating, snow and ice management. In high school I wanted to purchase a car. I didn't have any money and my parents believed in a strong work ethic so I bought an inexpensive truck with a plow and I started from there. I did driveways for the first year then got a commercial account. I truly found a love for the business and it grew to employ more than 50 people. In 1995 I expanded it into building residential communities and heavy excavation.
